"Oh Wow, I Got It in Good"

Action folded around to McLean Karr in the cutoff and he raised to 16,000. His good friend, Antonio Esfandiari, then three-bet to 34,000 from the big blind, inspiring both blinds to get out of the way. Karr responded by moving all in for 98,000, and after about a minute's worth of thought, Esfandiari made the call.

Showdown
Esfandiari: {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Karr: {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

"Oh wow, I got it in good," Karr said upon seeing Esfandiari's hand. The rail leaned in close as the dealer put down the flop... {7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}, a blank for Esfandiari. The {9-Hearts} turn wasn't anything exciting, and while the river was paint, it was the harmless {K-Spades}. With that, Karr doubled through the WSOP's all-time money leader.
